Neptune Trident NP Nitrate and Phosphate Tester

Neptune Trident NP Nitrate and Phosphate Tester

The Neptune Trident NP Nitrate and Phosphate Tester is an automated nitrate and phosphate test unit for marine aquariums, built for reef keepers who would rather not run manual tests. It checks both parameters automatically once per day and reports the results through your Apex controller, so you can follow your water quality trends from anywhere.

Key Benefits

• Tests nitrate and phosphate automatically once per day, so manual test kits drop out of your maintenance routine.
• Reagents store neatly inside the Trident unit.
• Builds on the original Trident with high-frequency nitrate and phosphate testing for tighter water quality monitoring.
• Plug and play setup: follow the step-by-step videos in the setup task to go from box to testing.
• Easy-to-read results and graphs, so your recent tank parameters are on your phone wherever you are.
• High and low alerts: your Apex notifies you on your mobile device when a result falls outside the range you set.
• Regular data helps you understand what is happening in your system, so you can make better decisions or even automate actions to keep it stable.
• Designed and assembled in the USA.

How to Use

The Trident NP integrates with A2 and A3 Series Apex controllers. Connect it to your Apex and follow the step-by-step setup videos in the setup task. Once running, it tests nitrate and phosphate once per day. You can start a test manually whenever you want additional readings. Set your own high and low alert limits so your Apex can warn you on your mobile device when results drift out of range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Trident NP come with reagents?
No. The Trident NP Reagent Kit is not included and is required for operation, so you will need it before you can run tests.

Which Apex controllers does it work with?
It works with the A3 Apex (Apex Pro, Apex, Apex Jr.) and the A2 Apex (Apex, Apex EL).

How often does it test my water?
It runs one automatic test per day. You can start a test manually if you want more readings in a day.

What nitrate and phosphate ranges can it measure?
Nitrate from 0-100 ppm and phosphate from 0-2.0 ppm. Stated accuracy is +/- 1 ppm +/- 5% of reading for nitrate and +/- 0.01 ppm, +/- 5% of reading for phosphate.

How much tank water does each test use?
Each test uses 30 ml of water.

Can I be alerted if my levels go out of range?
Yes. Set your high and low limits and your Apex will alert you on your mobile device when a result falls outside them. Results and graphs are also viewable through Apex Fusion.
